AM Meditation: Ziustac/Tuesday, we meditate on Ziu:Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter our own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties, and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

Anticipating rot, I cut into the soft spot, mid-melon. Hel, it wasn’t rotten at all. With no added room in the fridge to accommodate cut up melon, I had to finish about HALF of a watermelon so I could put the rest back into the fridge.

I am SO frustrated with both (Eihwaz, Is)I cannot and will not abandon the political party I have supported my entire voting life. A poor lapse in judgment and a certain amount of frustration drove me to a minor party. That will not happen again; neither will any support of the ...Republican party at any time. Say what you will, but the Democratic party represents everything I support.

The Democratic Party, home of great presidents like: Harry Truman Franklin D. Roosevelt Lyndon Johnson John KennedyI stand in their shadow.

PM Meditation: Paltar, blameless god, gloriously shining god, restoration god, beloved son of Wodan and Frija. Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by you, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving this life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all! PM Clarification Rune: none Comments: cared for animals Alaf Sal Fena!
